State lists measles vaccination exemptions at North Olympic Peninsula schools

The state Department of Health has reported statistics on school students who were exempted from immunization requirements, including those for measles, for the 2011-12 school year, the last for which figures were available.

Some schools reported no exemptions; others made no report. About a third of schools in the state did not comply with the reporting requirement. The law carries no enforcement provision or funding to implement it.

Arranged alphabetically by community in the North Olympic Peninsula, each listing gives the school or program, its exemption rate, the total of exempt students and the reason their parents or guardians claimed the exemptions — personal preference or medical reasons.
